1971 Topps #395 Roy White
About Roy White
Roy White hit .292 with 19 home runs and 84 RBI for the 1971 Yankees. A Sport magazine article that year, titled "The Yankees Have a Cleanup Hitter Who Chokes the Bat," quoted him explaining that he hit up the middle and to the opposite field because pulling made him overswing. Topps issued his 1971 card as #395, a fourth-series number, with the Yankees.
Roy White was a switch-hitting outfielder who spent his entire 15-year major league career with the New York Yankees, from 1965 through 1979. Signed out of Compton, California, he broke in as a September call-up in 1965 and by 1968 had claimed the everyday left field job, even hitting cleanup behind Mickey Mantle late that season. White made the American League All-Star team in 1969 and 1970, led the league in walks in 1972 and in runs scored in 1976, and set an AL record with 17 sacrifice flies in 1971. He played on three straight Yankees pennant winners from 1976 to 1978 and won back-to-back World Series titles in 1977 and 1978. He finished with a .271 career batting average, 160 home runs, and 233 stolen bases, and later coached for the Yankees.
